Tricky sits down with Leon Mckenzie for poignant season finale of 'Truth Be Told'

Sponsored by iconic UK brand Benjart, Link Up TV’s very own Tricky delivers the season finale of ‘Truth Be Told’; his refreshingly relatable and transparent interview platform. The series gives an insight into what Tricky deems as needed and necessary conversations and features a plethora of notable guests from online personalities, athletes, musicians and even Tricky’s own father.

During this poignant penultimate episode, Tricky sits down with ex-professional footballer and boxer Leon McKenzie with the pair coming together to discuss Leon’s most intimate life-altering experiences and events. Leon opens up the conversation by connecting the dots between himself and Tricky, highlighting how they share mutual similarities and character traits. This sets the tone for their conversation and provides an engaging foundation for the viewer as they begin their exchange.

Throughout the episode, the Thornton Heath sportsman openly divulges on his career and how it shaped him into the man he is today. He speaks on the juxtaposition between the highs and lows he faced, as well as how he re-invented and re-built himself multiple times throughout this time. Leon profoundly sheds light on how he has battled with his mental health over the years, including his attempt to take his own life in 2009 following on from his demise towards the end of his football career. He has since become a mental health advocate and speaker through his organisation ‘Fight It’, and now uses his personal struggles and experiences to gives invaluable advice, support and help to those who need it.

This episode is arguably one of Truth Be Told's most valuable, relatable and dynamic to date; leaving any viewer in anticipation for the return of its sophomore series.
